Jason had a conference in Colorado week before last and I got to tag along! While he was enduring lectures on Oil & Gas law, I spent two fun days visiting my friend Christian who lives nearby. I finally got to see her new house and the sweet nursery she is decorating for baby Clara. [...]

Happy Holidays….. …..From Our Herd to Yours! As you can see, I had a little too much fun designing our Christmas postcard this year. I thought it would be festive to Photoshop reindeer antlers on the dogs and give Oliver a bright red Rudolph nose. Apparently Ollie was not a fan, though! The cards were [...]

We try to take an annual girls’ trip together, so this year we met up in Frisco, Colorado, and rented a condo with a beautiful view of the snowy mountains. When we weren’t eating, we explored downtown Breckenridge, drank [...]

Yes, I’m still here! I appreciate all the calls and messages we received from friends and family checking on us after this crazy weekend of earthquakes in Oklahoma. We’re totally fine! What a bizarre feeling, though, to be jolted awake from a deep sleep by the sound of your house vibrating all around you. Not [...]

My favorite part of Halloween has always been decorating pumpkins. I have fond childhood memories of carving Jack-O-Lanterns with my brother Trent and now, as bigger kids, Jason and I continue the tradition.

Have I mentioned that fall is my absolute favorite time of year? I adore everything about it – aisle after aisle of school supplies, a crisp breeze in the air, colorful foliage, layered outfits, and any recipe in which pumpkin is an ingredient. Let’s just say that if I knew of a place where every [...]
